PHNOM PENH - Cambodia's strongman Premier Hun Sen will be glorified as a"handsome hero" in a soon-to-be-published book chronicling the decisions he made during the Covid-19 pandemic, the publisher said on Tuesday .

Penned by Mr Hun Sen's advisers and members of the Khmer Writers Association , the 270-page book will detail the bombastic leader's unconventional decisions, and will include his speeches. He also allowed a US cruise ship to dock after it had been turned away from several ports over fears its passengers could be carrying the coronavirus.

A staunch ally of China, Mr Hun Sen has moved even closer to Beijing in recent years as Cambodia has received billions of dollars in soft loans and investment.
